iBike Dash CC turns your iPhone into a cycling computer

Ben Coxworth, February 23, 2011, Gizmag - SPORTS

It seems like almost everything that once existed solely as an electronic device is now also available as a smartphone app, and cycling computers are certainly no exception. Applications such as Cyclemeter, B.iCycle and PedalBrain – just to name a few – all allow riders to use their iPhones to keep track of things such as speed, location, and distance travelled. Now, Florida-based Velocomp has thrown its hat into the ring with the iBike Dash CC (Cycling Computer) app and hardware package.



The basic version of iBike Dash CC requires an iPhone or iPod touch, and includes a waterproof/shock-absorbing holder, steer tube mount, ANT+ wireless speed sensor, and the iBike app and computer software. It's also compatible with all ANT+ cadence and heart rate sensors.



The app allows the iPhone or iPod to act as a speedometer, odometer, chronograph, altimeter, GPS navigator, and all the smartphoney things one would expect, while also allowing users to place and receive phone calls without interrupting its iBike functions. It also includes 50 training programs, that are designed to keep riders within an optimum-but-safe heart rate zone and pedaling cadence.
